More than seventy angels were placed on the tree and every angel was provided with a gift.  The gifts were wrapped and placed in the Student Center so that parents could come pick up the gifts to present to their children from “Santa.”  With the success of this year’s Angels on the Tree, the Student Center has decided to expand the angels next year to allow staff and faculty in need to place an angel on the tree that will include clothing sizes and a wish list from each child.
